At the Donetsk front, militants from the 56th brigade’s 23rd motorized infantry battalion, from their positions in the Opytnoye area, opened fire with a mounted grenade launcher on Spartak, having fired 12 rounds.
Ukrainian militants carried out this combat provocation in the run-up to another meeting of the Trilateral Contact Group for the purpose of concealing engineer work on retrofitting AFU positions.
